The "ng"s and double vowels remind me of some Sino-Tibetan languages. Is it a Sino-Tibetan language?

Oh OK, it reminded me of an Angami-Pochuri language (specifically Poumai).

I remember you posted a sample in Adi once that had <ii> in it, too. Is this one another Tani language?

Is it spoken exclusively in India, or is it also spoken in Burma (according to Wikipedia, at least :P)?
